[Q] Stock Firmware Update {I-9500} {india}

Hi Guys,
I am on the Official Stock Rom DDUAMDK and I have rooted it using CF root.
Device Status Says Custom and Havent Installed any Recovery Yet
I am unable to Update VIA OTA obv cause i am rooted.
So How to Get teh Latest Indian Firmware. I am confused as in XDa there are a Hell lot of Firmwares available and don't know which one is Latest
Any other way to get the OTA or to get it update Via odin to Latest?

Here's the guide to enable OTA Update:

The letters contained in the name of the firmware describes the version of the same. You can check the latest one at samfirmware or checkfus.

No, you can't flash the i9505 firmware. There are nb1 and mk2 tar files available. Look in the general forum

[Request] Update from NB1 to NC1

currently I am outside us i want NC1 Frimware to upgrade with out rooting my device
ٍSorry i but it on wrong place i want to move it to question sections i am sorry for that

The NC1 update is provided by your carrier. You should just be able to do a check for updates on your device and it'll find it. Please know that it's a very recent update and not much is known about how it affects custom ROMs or the rooting process. I updated to it and I'm waiting to see what the experts here say.

My carrier is At&t and they don't allow any update out the US

There was another thread I posted this to but for some reason the OP wanted the thread deleted.
So here is the link to the file I was pushed.

I honestly do not trust the update and I will explain. I believe the update was pushed to prevent us, the custom ROM users, from downgrading back to mf3. We all know that in mf3 there is an exploit where we can change the kernel inside the memory or something like that. I am rooted on nb1 and am running a bootloader that lets me downgrade back to mf3. It would make sense to me that they are trying to prevent that exploit. I know they probably fix a stability issue or something but I would not flash to nc1 if you don't want custom roms here in the near future.

We could never downgrade to mf3, only a partial downgrade to MK2 from nb1. And jeboo already said the nc1 bootloader does not increment the q fuse counter so you can still go back to nb1 if you want...

On top of that, the exploit is at the kernel level. We can still get the MK2 kernel so we can still get the exploit. That's why bypasslkm still works on the downgrade.

I was Odining back to stock MK2 and after it was finished I set it up then went outside real quick. Came back and phone said it was updated to this NC1 firmware and this happens when looks like potential progress on the "serious about unlocking bootloader" thread f u ATT.

Don't worry, chances are exploits will function still if one is found, and if Hashcode implements kexec you'll still be fine.

I think you should be able to connect through a proxy and download the update over wifi that way. Note that the update will only work over WiFi... not mobile data. I hope you get it worked out.

If you update, you will be forced to use safe strap to boot roms and will lose the ability to flash custom roms and recovery by using LOKI. If this means nothing to you, then there is a flashable ODIN stock 4.4.2 tar file you can download from this forum.

Oops I didn't see that. Yeah safe strap is all he can use. He has a different build number and baseband version too, which is odd. Aren't they supposed to be the same or near the same?
